When we were waiting for Alex two years ago we bought some tulips that originated in the Mountains of Kazakhstan so it has become a tradition to plant a few every year in honor of our children! This year i actually found a whole bunch andbought them and then lost them in the hub-bub of preparing for the Baja 1000. Well, as we cleaned out the garage after winter we found them!!! I felt so bad! so i threw a few in the ground right away and sent the rest home with Bonnie, who has more space this year... So several have come up and one is even blooming! I am so glad! i will take better care of them next year! The two species found in nature in Kaz are the Greigii and Kaufmann kinds. I don't remember which is which right now, but usually the Greigii has very pretty striped leaves, I think. I also included a couple pictures of other Kazakh tulips that i planted a couple years ago!
